An illegal immigrant fled to the United States on a B-2 tourist visa to avoid child rape charges in his native Jamaica.
The 59-year-old Jamaican national first entered the United States in June 2020 on a six-month tourist visa through John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York City, New York.
The following month, on July 1, 2020, Jamaican law enforcement issued an arrest warrant for the national for raping a child under the age of 16. A few days later, on July 9, 2020, the State Department revoked his visa, making him an illegal alien in the United States.
“This non-Jamaican citizen fled to the United States to avoid very disturbing charges,” said Todd M. Lyons, an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent. Said“He poses a significant threat to the residents of Connecticut and will now return to Jamaica to face justice there.”
The illegal immigrant managed to live in the U.S. sanctuary state of Connecticut for almost four years before he was arrested by ICE agents near his Stamford home on May 29. He remains in ICE custody while awaiting deportation from the United States.
